@DiogenesLamp I have told this story before,but I was in Moscow when the Russians were holding the 96 Presidential elections,and all I had read here in the US was about how the Communists were making a political comeback,and were destined to win and return the country to communism. Well,there I was in a hotel when the CP candidate was standing on the bed of a flatbed truck and giving a speech shortly before the election. CNN was being broadcast on a television in the hotel lobby at the same time,and I could even see the CNN reporter at the scene looking out from the hotel lobby,and see him on the tv screen at the same time. He was talking about how the Moscow Militia (city cops) and the Army were behind the CP candidate,and the Soviet Army during communist times had almost as much political power as the Politburo.
Anyhow,the CNN reporter was raving about how the Moscow Militia and a few senior Army officers standing on the bed of the truck and on the edges of the crowd PROVED how much support the communist had. Russians standing around in the lobby were practically snarling and growling at this. I asked them about this and they told me the reason the Moscow Militia and the Army police units were there was because the CP candidate had received so many death threats,and they were there to PROTECT him,not support him. Once I looked around it was obvious they were telling the truth because the militia were surrounding the stage and their brass and the Army brass were busy keeping the protesters back. You couldn't see this on the camera angles in the lobby,though. If you were just looking at the tv you would be inclined to believe them.
When the speeches stopped and the parade began,the only organization I saw marching with the Communists were the Russian Orthodox Church people,and yes I know it was them because they actually have their own flag they fly,and there were a lot of priests and nuns marching under the banner. The commies had promised them that in return for their support they would ban all other religions from operating in Russia if they won.
I told the Russians in the lobby that if someone would give me a good belt-fed 30 caliber and a couple of ammo bearers that I could solve that little problem for them in just a few minutes,and they started smiling,laughing,and smacking me on the back and offering to buy me drinks.
So much for CNN truthfulness about the typical Russia being pro-communist and anti-American.
